A bit of background on compilers exploiting signed overflow
Why do compilers even bother with exploiting undefinedness signed overflow? And what are those
mysterious cases where it helps?
A lot of people (myself included) are against transforms that aggressively exploit undefined behavior, but
I think it's useful to know what compiler writers are accomplishing by this.
TL;DR: C doesn't work very well if int!=register width, but (for backwards compat) int is 32-bit on all
major 64-bit targets, and this causes quite hairy problems for code generation and optimization in some
fairly common cases. The signed overflow UB exploitation is an attempt to work around this.

Turning Off Github Issues

My friend Michael Jackson turned off github issues on one of his smaller projects. It got me thinking...

Maintainers getting burned out is a problem. Not just for the users of a project but the mental health of the maintainer. It's a big deal for both parties. Consumers want great tools, maintainers want to create them, but maintainers don't want to be L1 tech support, that's why they

C++ is a hack

Various 'features' of C++ that show the hacky / inconsistent way in which the language was constructed. This is a work in progress, and currently contains some of the reasons I can remember why I've given up on C++. If you want to contribute, leave your favourite "hack" in the comments.

  1. (in)Visibility: C++ allows changing the access modifier of a virtual function in the derived class. Not only does C++ have no notion of interfaces, it actually allows subclasses to hide methods declared public in the superclass.

  2. Operator over-overloading: One of the increment operators takes a dummy int parameter in order to allow overloading. Can you tell which without googling? (hint: its postfix).

  3. Exception unspecifiers: C++ has two types of exception specifiers: throw() and nothrow. The first is deprecated (because 'we screwed up, sorry, let's forget about this terrible mess'). The second one guarantees it's contract by terminating the application when violated. That's because functions declared

Beating Serialization in Spark

Serialization

As all objects must be Serializable to be used as part of RDD operations in Spark, it can be difficult to work with libraries which do not implement these featuers.

Java Solutions

Simple Classes

For simple classes, it is easiest to make a wrapper interface that extends Serializable. This means that even though UnserializableObject cannot be serialized we can pass in the following object without any issue

public interface UnserializableWrapper extends Serializable {
 public UnserializableObject create(String parm1, String parm2);

Python unittest `setUp` inheritance

In some cases for Python unit tests, we want to automatically perform setUp methods in as declared in a base class. However, we still want setUp to work as per normal in the subclass. The following code will proxy the new setUp function to run it's base class' and the new one.

# Define a common test base for starting servers
class MyBaseTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        """On inherited classes, run our `setUp` method"""
        # Inspired via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1323455/python-unit-test-with-base-and-sub-class/17696807#17696807
        if cls is not MyBaseTestCase and cls.setUp is not MyBaseTestCase.setUp:
